Someone in the crowd was sobbing softly, and the people next to her, whether they recognized her or not, would gently wipe her tears and whisper a few words of comfort. There was a woman in her thirties at the outermost edge of the crowd, and she was leaning against her side.
The two girls, who were in their prime, looked as embarrassed as the women around them. They were also wearing the clothes of Dagan soldiers. Like many women in the crowd, they were half-clothed and had suffered all the humiliation.
It seemed that the young woman couldn't stand the smell of blood on the clothes of the Dagan soldiers, so she pulled them down, exposing her snowy shoulders. The older woman sighed, stretched out her hand, pulled the clothes up, and whispered something, but saw this
The young woman frowned, but finally she couldn't hold back anymore. She just frowned with a bitter look on her face. She was still a mysophobic girl.
The thick smoke moved from left to right with the autumn wind, and it seemed that there was also the smell of barbecue and refining oil, which made people want to vomit. Naturally, these women were not as good as the Dagan soldiers. Many of them were vomited by the smoke.
Hearing the sound of vomiting, which was fine at first, his stomach turned involuntarily. Sure enough, he saw that the young woman's brows were frowning even more tightly. The older woman was helpless and looked around. There was a tall stone not far away.
In some places, there are several sacks filled with grain and grass, which are very flat and clean. Sitting on the sacks is a Dagan soldier who lowers his head to eat. There is also a spear and a square box not far away from hand. Apart from him,
There is no one else around except one person.
The place where the Dagan generals were sitting was not far from the two women. The older woman helped the younger woman get up and walked over. When she got close, she bowed and whispered softly: "General, can you let the daughter of the people here?"
Avoid the smoke?"
The Dagan soldiers looked up and were slightly startled. Although the two women in front of them were in a miserable state, they were naturally beautiful and turned out to be rare beauties. It was a pity that they had suffered a lot because of this disaster.
Seeing the somewhat suspicious expression on the soldier's face, the older woman quickly said, "General, just sit on the side as a civilian girl. It won't disturb the general."
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you two can help yourself." After saying that, he moved to the side, lowered his head and ate the unfinished meal.
This smile was so warm that it made the two of them tremble in their hearts, just like the young brother in the neighboring house. Although the smell of blood on his body was very heavy, it made the two of them feel at ease for no reason. The older woman sighed slightly, this
It is really sad that he has to go into battle to kill the enemy at such a young age. If he had been born into a good family, he would have already had a family and a career.
The young woman glanced at the soldier curiously. He had a very delicate appearance, which matched the armor well. He was also half-white on the temples. She didn't know what kind of sad thing she had experienced. The food in the bowl looked like the woman in distress.
The food was generally the same, so it seemed that the Dagan soldiers were just poor at cooking, and did not deliberately despise these women.
The two of them did not dare to sit on the sack. Instead, they sat gently on the ground leaning on the sack, two steps away from the Dagan soldiers.
The young woman leaned on the older woman's shoulder, suddenly buried her head in the woman's arms, and started sobbing silently. The older woman sighed quietly, shed a few tears, and strengthened her spirits again.
, hugged the young woman's delicate body, and carefully whispered comfort, for fear of disturbing the soldiers who were eating.
The soldier glanced sideways, and happened to make eye contact with the older woman. The older woman turned pale, smiled apologetically, and patted the young woman's vest in a hurry, signaling that she should stop crying.
"Are the two girls from Yeliang Prefecture?" the soldier suddenly asked.
The young woman started crying for a while and was afraid she couldn't hold it back. The insults she suffered these days could not be washed away by the water of the East China Sea. The reason why she survived was probably due to the persuasion of the older woman next to her.
When the soldier asked, the young woman slowly stopped crying and hid in the older woman's arms like a wounded cat.
"Reporting to the general, the civilian girl is from Hushan Prefecture. She married to Qingchuan County, Bantian Prefecture eleven years ago. She is the third daughter of her husband's family and is a girl from the You family in Qingchuan County."
"Oh." The soldier nodded, swallowed the last mouthful of food, glanced at the food that was placed on the ground by the two women and only took a few bites, and licked his lips.
The older woman was startled and wanted to give it to General Dagan. However, she had just eaten a few mouthfuls and it was already leftovers. It was not appropriate to send it over like this. She was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
General Dagan laughed, relieved the woman's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "There are all clumsy men in the camp, and the appearance of the food is really bad. I have been very hungry these days. It is not easy to wait for the food to be cooked. I have to wait for the food to be cooked."
If we wait a little longer, I’m afraid we’ll even be eating the raw ones.”
Seeing that the soldiers were kind and amiable, and their words were quite funny, the older woman gradually let go of her anxiety and asked softly: "General, don't you eat before a battle?"
The soldier laughed, touched the tip of his nose and said, "Why don't you eat? It's just that there isn't much food left and I'm not full."
"It's outrageous to let you go to war on an empty stomach..." The older woman stopped talking. She didn't know the origins of the soldiers in front of her. Talking too much will lead to mistakes, so it's better to talk less.
The soldier smiled and didn't take it seriously, but there was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes. The older woman looked at the food in the bowl on the floor, helped the young woman up, and said softly: "Xiao Xi, eat, don't waste it.
Only when you have food and are full can you have the strength to go on the journey." After saying this, he glanced at the southeast of the camp, his expression dimmed, and he immediately became as determined as before.
The young woman sat up from the older woman's arms, her eyes were red, but she was heartbroken, as if she had forgotten the meaning of life and death.
"When we encounter war, the soldiers are suffering, and the people are also suffering. We don't know when this world's strife will end." The soldier sighed leisurely, his expression desolate.
The older woman picked up the bowl and started swallowing. She ate very elegantly, taking small bites, but it was obvious that she swallowed the food without chewing it. Seeing this, the soldier smiled slightly and said, "Don't eat it if you don't want to eat it."
.”
The older woman shook her head stubbornly and whispered: "If you need something to eat, it's a long way back to Qingchuan County from here."
"Are you all kidnapped from Qingchuan County by General Cao Hai?"
"Not entirely. At first there were daughters from families along the river, but now I'm afraid there are not many alive, they are all dead." The older woman said bitterly, "They don't care about young or old, they just kill the men and capture the women.
When we arrived at the camp, the older ones went to cook and wash the clothes for them, while the younger ones... just..." The woman said two words in a row, and something seemed to be choking in her throat. She wanted to say no.
When he came out, only hatred was left on his face.
